There will be no impact to
the resources or staffing of the affected departments due to these changes
since the courses are already offered by the departments. Cross listing the
courses as RELS courses will have a positive impact on the Religious Studies
program since it will expand the number of courses offered under the RELS rubric
for the benefit of Religious Studies majors and minors without the addition of
faculty.

Rationale:

These courses are
appropriate as electives for both the major and minor in Religious Studies.
Cross listing will prevent the needless duplication of courses or faculty.
